A small block of mass 20.0 grams is moving to the right on a horizontal frictionless surface with a speed of 0.68 m/s. The block

has a head-on elastic collision with a 40.0 gram block that is initially at rest. Since the collision is head-on, all velocities lie along the same line, both before and after the collision.(a) What is the speed of the 20.0 gram block after the collision?(b) What is the speed of the 40.0 gram block after the collision?

Answer:

a) v'=-0.227\ m.s^{-1}

b) v=1.36\ m.s^{-1}

Explanation:

Given:

mass of the lighter block, m'=0.02\kg

velocity of the lighter block, u'=0.68\ m.s^{-1}

mass of the heavier block, m=0.04\ kg

velocity of the heavier block, u=0\ m.s^{-1}

a)

Using conservation of linear momentum:

m'.u'+m.u=m'.v'+m.v

where:

v'= final velocity of the lighter block

v= final velocity of the heavier block

m'.u'=m'.v'+m.v

m'(u'-v')=m.v ........................(1)

Since kinetic energy is conserved in elastic collision:

\frac{1}{2}m'.u'^2=\frac{1}{2}m'.v'^2+\frac{1}{2}m.v^2

m'(u'^2-v'^2)=m.v^2

m'(u'-v')(u'+v')= m.v^2

divide the above equation by eq. (1)

v=u'+v' .............................(2)

now we substitute the value of v from eq. (2) in eq. (1)

m'(u'-v')=m(u'+v')

\frac{m'+m}{m'-m} =\frac{u'}{v'}

\frac{0.02+0.04}{0.02-0.04} =\frac{0.68}{v'}

v'=-0.227\ m.s^{-1} (negative sign denotes that the direction is towards left)

b)

now we substitute the value of v' from eq. (2) in eq. (1)

m'(u'-v+u')=m.v

2m'.u'=(m-m')v

2\times 0.02\times 0.68=(0.04-0.02)\times v

v=1.36\ m.s^{-1}

In a physics laboratory experiment, a coil with 200 turns enclosing an area of 11.8 cm^2 is rotated during the time interval 4.9
Zanzabum

Answer:

Explanation:

Flux through the coil = nBA , n is no of turns , B is magnetic flux and A a is area of the coli

= 200 x 5.6 x 10⁻⁵ x 11.8 x 10⁻⁴

=  13216 x 10⁻⁹ weber .

b ) When the coil becomes parallel to magnetic field  , flux through it will become zero.

c ) e m f induced = change in flux / time

= 13216 x 10⁻⁹ / 4.9 x 10⁻²

= 2697.14 x 10⁻⁷ V

= 269.7 x10⁻⁶

269.7 μV.

In 6 secs, the dog covers-
S=vt
8.9*6 = 53.4 m.
In the same time, the cat covers, 53.4-3.8 = 49.6 m.
Thus, speed of the cat, v= s/t, 
= 49.6/6 = 8.267 m/s

The potential energy of a watermelon is 15.0 J. The watermelon is 3.0 m high. What is the mass of the watermelon?
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

m = 0.51[kg]

Explanation:

Potential energy is defined as the product of mass by gravity by height.

E_{pot}=m*g*h

where:

Epot = potential energy = 15 [J]

m = mass [kg]

g = gravity acceleration = 9.8 [m/s²]

h = elevation = 3 [m]

Now replacing:

E_{pot}=m*g*h\\15=m*9.8*3\\m = 0.51[kg]
